Chapter 641: Trapped
The bright winter sun shines through the transparent glass and sprinkles on the purple and red flowers. The flowers are bright and vibrant, and the leaves are verdant, making people feel as if they have traveled through the seasons and come to a blooming spring day.
Among the flowers, on the antique huanghuali open-carved rose chair, a leisurely figure leaned obliquely on the soft pillow, slender fingers flying, drooping eyes, long eyelashes, casting two curved shadows, cherry pink lips hooked a beautiful arc. The little girl, like a fairy among the flowers, seems to have dimmed into the background of the flowers around her.
Yuan Haiqing and Lin Ruohan, who came hand in hand, couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw this scene, for fear of alarming the fairy among the flowers.
Standing behind his own girl, watching her fingering intently, but still looking at the full moon with a confused face, he noticed the movement at the entrance of the conservatory and raised his eyes to look over. Seeing the two guests, she hurriedly reminded her girl: "Girl, Miss Yuan and Miss Lin have arrived." β
Gu Ye raised his slender eyelashes, his eyes seemed to have stars shining in the darkness, and after coming into contact with the figures of the two, they suddenly burst into a shining light: "Sister Qing, Sister Lin, are you here?" You may be seated. β
Each chair is covered with snow-white fur cushions, and the backrest is placed with fluffy cushions, just like sitting on a sofa, very comfortable. Yuan Haiqing took off the cloak outside, handed it to the maid on the side, and sat down comfortably.
Liangchen has already brought sweet and sour juices to the two guests, and put all kinds of nuts and snacks for the guests. Lin Ruohan was a little restrained today, and he didn't even reach out to take his favorite dim sum.
Gu Ye immediately pulled a chair and leaned to her side, weaving a woolen scarf with her fingers flying up and down, and opened her mouth coquettishly: "Sister Lin, other people's hands are so busy, can you help me peel a walnut?" β
Lin Ruohan naturally would not refuse, she peeled out the walnut kernels and sent them into Gu Ye's mouth. Looking at the scarf that Gu Ye had already knitted most of in her hand, she asked with some curiosity, "Sister Ye'er, what are you doing here?" β
"Knitting wool! The woolen ball that Yinzhen Pavilion just sent has rabbit hair and wool. The wool thread ball, the woven things cannot be worn close to the body, and it is a bit prickly. This is rabbit fur, you touch it, it is soft and warm, and you are not afraid of the cold when you wrap it around your neck! Gu Ye's hand stopped and sent the half-finished scarf to Lin Ruohan.
Lin Ruohan touched it carefully, it was indeed quite soft. The scarf has a white background and is embellished with red patterns, which is elegant and lively. Gu Ye also took a semi-finished scarf and made a few strokes on Lin Ruohan's neck, lining the small jacket she was wearing today, which was very beautiful.
Yuan Haiqing leaned over greedily and smiled flatteringly: "This thing looks good when tied around the neck." Sister Ye'er, when my aunt's weaving is done, can you help me weave one? Wearing such a beautiful and fresh object during the Chinese New Year will definitely make other ladies envious! β
Gu Ye glanced at her and said, "My mother's weaving is finished, and I still have to weave it for my grandfather." I have two grandfathers! β
"That'...... The weaving of the two grandfathers is finished, can it be my turn? Yuan Haiqing looked at her with blank eyes, his hands folded, and he looked pleading.
"Grandpa's weaving is finished, and Daddy. Plus, I have seven older brothers! You wait slowly! Gu Ye smiled at the corner of his mouth, and while knocking his teeth with her, the speed of weaving in his hand did not slow down at all.
Yuan Haiqing looked disappointed: "Ah-can I still wear this before that year?" β
Gu Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have three heads and six arms, and I only have a total of five or six days until the New Year, and if I have one a day, I can't weave it!" β
When Yuan Haiqing heard this, she pouted childishly. Gu Ye glanced at her and said, "Rely on the mountains and mountains, rely on everyone to run." Instead of begging for someone, it is better to do it yourself! β
"But...... You know, my needlework is a mess, it's strange that I can learn such a meticulous job! Yuan Haiqing frowned and let out a long sigh.
Gu Ye pointed at himself and said, "Could it be that my needlework is better than yours?" This is much easier than making clothes and sewing bags. I can learn it, do you admit that you are stupider than others? β
"Compared to others, I definitely won't admit that I'm stupid. But...... Sister Ye'er, you know how to heal, you can make medicine, and you always make some strange things from time to time. I don't dare compare to you! Yuan Haiqing described Gu Ye as an omnipotent little monster in his heart, willing to bow to the wind!
"Ten fingers have long and short, there is a specialization in the art industry, and I don't know martial arts yet!" Gu Ye encouraged the future second sister-in-law and said, "Knitting a sweater looks tedious, but it is composed of many repetitive stitches. As long as you learn the most basic stitching, a fool will knit! β
"Is it really as easy as you say?" Yuan Haiqing was a little moved by what she said.
"Sister Qing, look at it, this is what Yue Yuan just learned this morning. She's the same as you, she doesn't know anything about needlework, she only knows how to dance knives and guns, hasn't she also learned it? The moon is full, knit a few stitches for Miss Yuan to see! Gu Ye pouted at the small basket on the table.
Girl, are you praising me or hurting me? Yue Yuan took out the woolen needle from the basket with a slightly complicated mood and showed her clumsy fingering to the two girls Yuan and Lin.
Gu Ye pointed to the stitching method she was weaving and said, "Sister Qing, you can learn the most basic stitching method first, just like her." When you are proficient, you can learn the tricks. I knit the best scarves, but I can also knit gloves, socks, hats, sweaters and trousers. It is said that if you give your favorite person a scarf, you can firmly encircle each other's hearts and surround each other for the rest of your life! After speaking, she squeezed her eyes at Yuan Haiqing.
Yuan Haiqingqiao's face was slightly red, she glared at her, and didn't say anything, but her body picked up two wool needles very sincerely, and learned needles from Gu Ye seriously.
Lin Ruohan said with some envy: "Can I learn together?" β
Gu Ye nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Of course you can!" Sister Lin is ingenious and must have learned faster than I did back then! β
Sure enough, Lin Ruohan got started quickly, and after reading it almost twice, he mastered the most basic needle method. Gu Ye taught the unit treasure knitting method, and the patterns woven were like small ingots, which were most suitable for weaving scarves.
Lin Ruohan chose gray and white threads and prepared to weave a striped scarf, which looked like it was knitted for men. Afraid that the two good friends would misunderstand, she blushed and whispered: "My father is afraid of cold in winter, so I will knit a ...... for him to practice his hands first."
Yuan Haiqing had a narrow smile in her eyes, and just wanted to say something, she was pinched on her thigh by Gu Ye, and jumped up in pain. During these days, she was always asked by her mother to behave like a lady. After jumping up, she looked left and right, and found that in the glass conservatory, except for them, there was only one gardener in the innermost part who was busy, so she was relieved.
She sat down again, pinched the two woolen needles awkwardly, and complained in a low voice: "Sister Ye'er, you pinched too hard just now, right?" It hurts me! β
Gu Yesheng was afraid that she would say something that would make Lin Ruohan embarrassed and shy, if she scared her away, where would she find such a satisfactory sister-in-law? She pointed to the woolen needle in Yuan Haiqing's hand that was bent badly, and reminded: "Sister Qing, if you pinch the woolen needle again, there will be no replacement." β
Before her words fell, she only heard a soft sound of "pop", and the woolen needle in Yuan Haiqing's hand died again. She scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "You said it too late!" What now? β
"What else can I do? Let my second brother help you cut a few more, enough for you to build hard! Gu Ye looked helpless, "Sister Qing, can you not use the force of the sword to pinch the woolen needle?" You treat it as a piece of mung bean cake, handle it with care, and take care of ......"
Yuan Haiqing drooped her head and said a little dejectedly: "I don't seem to have the talent to weave wool, what should I do?" β
Gu Ye raised his eyes and saw his second brother striding over. He probably didn't expect the guests to come so early, so he entered the conservatory and bypassed the screen, only to find that there were two more guests in front of his sister, one of whom was his little fiancΓ©e.
"Second brother, you came just in time. Your daughter-in-law has caused all the trouble for my woolen needles, hurry up and make amends! Gu Ye saw that Yuan Haiqing lowered her head shyly, and joked with a smile.
When Yuan Haiqing heard this, her face instantly turned red like a red thread on the table. She stretched out her hand and wanted to pinch the little girl who was unobtrusive.
Before he could touch Gu Ye's arm, he heard a miserable cry from the little girl's mouth: "Ah! Second brother, second sister-in-law, she bullied me, you don't care! β
Chu Mufeng's gaze swept over Yuan Haiqing's hand that stayed next to Gu Ye's arm, which was still two inches away. That hand, unlike the average little girl, is slender and white, the joints are somewhat obvious, and there is a faint thin cocoon at the tiger's mouth, which is the hand of a person who practices martial arts. And he, who has always been impatient with those delicate ladies and little girls who practice martial arts, should not be very squeamish, and they also have a common language after getting married......
Yuan Haiqing found her fiancΓ©'s gaze, stayed on her hand, and hurriedly retracted her hand and hid it in her sleeve. How ugly her hands are, she herself knows very well - Second Brother Chu...... You won't dislike her because of this, will you?
Seeing the interaction between the two, Gu Ye grinned, and was about to make a few jokes, but was softly interrupted by her second brother: "Ye'er, don't be naughty!" β
"Second brother, are you distressed?" Gu Ye winked at him, with an expression that gave him face, "Okay, since the second brother has spoken, I will let your daughter-in-law go for the time being." Second brother, your daughter-in-law said that she would knit a scarf for you, and your daughter-in-law didn't hurt in vain. β
Yuan Haiqing's face was flushed, and she hurriedly raised her head, her eyes swept over the handsome and handsome Chu Er, and lowered her head again. Her hand gently tugged at Gu Ye's dress under the table, and whispered, "When am I going to give it...... Knitting a scarf? I haven't learned the most of the stitches......"
Gu Ye squeezed her eyes, and also lowered her voice and said: "Practice makes perfect, you can try a few more times - second brother, there are not enough woolen needles, can you help us prepare more?" β
